Chapter 80: Snake and Crane Fight

080 The Battle between Snake and Crane

Sitting by the window for a long time at night and refusing to fall asleep, Xiang Jiannan closed his eyes and pretended that he was practicing. Outside the window, it was dim and only a few lights were left. The master had occupied the entire bed early in the morning.

He lay in the shape of a big character and scratched himself even as he snored loudly.

This old Taoist priest really falls asleep as soon as he touches the pillow.

After being disturbed several times by Gao Yu'an's noise, Xiang Jiannan adjusted the direction of his chair and put his arms on the windowsill. He had the impression that his master never snored when he slept. After changing the environment, the old Taoist priest slept more soundly than before.

Li Jin did not come for dinner. He ordered a table full of food, which he basically enjoyed alone.

Perhaps influenced by the conversation with Li Si in the Demon-Suppressing Division during the day, Xiang Jiannan had neither strong appetite nor desire to sleep in an unfamiliar environment. He watched with his own eyes as the streets downstairs became increasingly deserted. Fortunately, the lights in this inn were bright enough.

He didn't have so many thoughts that night at Baofo Temple. This shows that Xiang Jiannan's ability to adapt to the environment is not as strong as imagined.

After sitting by the window for about half an hour, Xiang Jiannan felt a little sleepy. He turned around to see his master sleeping soundly. He wanted to challenge him to a competition. But just as he was about to get up, he heard a slight noise outside the window, as if something was crawling to the window. When he turned around, his brain suddenly short-circuited because of what he saw.

What the hell? It's a door-prying device!

Xiang Jiannan almost bumped into the face of a person that suddenly hung on the window. He was so shocked that he couldn't even breathe. He just sat there and kept looking at the person. His mind was empty and he only remembered breathing.

This is Shou County, similar to the provincial capital of the previous world. The inn where I am currently staying is not far from the Demon Subduing Division. It is not even late at night, and someone dares to commit a crime openly? The most important thing is that I ran into him. The window is open, so I can't see anyone inside? "Little Taoist, do you remember me?"

When he came to his senses, he felt that this person had strong footwork. Looking at her body hanging from above, Xiang Jiannan didn't know what to say.

It was a woman. Her voice sounded familiar, but her face was unfamiliar. Because of the angle, he paid most attention to a certain part of the person's body. Affected by gravity and her clothes, when the woman opened her mouth, his attention suddenly became uncontrollable.

The voice was sweet and pleasant, and it swayed in front of my eyes from time to time, leaving no place to hide the graceful figure.

"It's too early. I haven't slept yet."

As if possessed by a ghost, Xiang Jiannan spoke and only smelled a strange fragrance coming from the woman. At the same time, his master sneezed, and his outstretched hands instantly retracted.

This woman actually wanted to touch him with her hands! What occasion, what posture! If the master hadn't reacted in time, she would have almost succeeded! There was no time to look back to see if the master had woken up at this time. After saying this, he only felt a slight heat in his chest. Xiang Jiannan quietly moved his chair back, as if he had entered the saint mode after being hit by the master's sneeze. When he looked at the woman again, the chaotic sound in his ears never stopped.

There was the sound of objects rubbing against each other, which spread into the house through the walls.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

While speaking, Xiang Jiannan gently shook his fingers. His left hand hidden under his Taoist robe was not idle. He felt that the woman in front of him was sent by Li Si. While thinking about it, he was also prepared to make a sudden move.

The fact that she dared to appear in front of him so blatantly proved that she was fearless. Like Tang Ning, she was probably mentally ill. No one could help her this time. Her only hope was behind her. Judging from the calls, she didn't know what condition he was in now.

"Have you forgotten me so quickly?"

Only at this moment did she finally want to straighten her body. In front of Xiang Jiannan, she didn't use much strength and her body, hanging upside down like a spider, turned over. As she leaned her body into the window, Xiang Jiannan also knew where the noise came from.

It came from the position below the woman's abdomen. It had no legs, only a body as thick as a bowl. It meandered into the windowsill and a flash of scaly light appeared. The part pressing against the windowsill was tightly attached to the wall outside.

Snake demon!

Frightened by the woman's true form, Xiang Jiannan stood up without thinking. The snake demon was now quite close to him. Who could have thought that he would encounter such an evil demon on such a night?

I, Xiang Jiannan, don’t know what snake monster is. Maybe I have walked into the wrong house.

"Young Taoist priest, don't do anything!"

Seeing that Xiang Jiannan had raised his hand and there were already several green airs, the snake demon hurriedly stopped approaching. Just as he was about to stop him with his hands, he withdrew his body with a painful look on his face. He only heard a splashing sound from outside the house. When Xiang Jiannan wanted to look out the window with the green air, a pair of wings suddenly rose from under the window. This time, a bird's beak stretched out, and its slender neck scanned the window. It actually said something in a stern tone:

"What are you looking at? Blow out the light!"

After saying this, it folded its wings and fell from the window. The sound of the crane's cry was particularly clear in the dark night.

Crane! Did this snake demon steal someone else’s elixir?

Standing at the window, he could constantly see cranes soaring into the sky and swooping down. How could Xiang Jiannan listen to him and turn off the lights? He could only hear a few screams from the street from time to time. For a moment, he could not tell whether he was in a dream or reality.

Did the demons of the Great Zhou Dynasty not avoid people? After all this commotion, how could the Demon Subduing Division not hear about it? Such a thing happened in the county.

"Disciple, is it dawn?"

While Xiang Jiannan was admiring the spectacle, Gao Yuan, who was sleeping more soundly than a pig, finally stopped snoring on the bed behind him. He just walked to the window and was startled for a moment. He quickly raised his hand to close the window, turned around and picked up his Taoist robe, and said in an urgent tone:

"I thought it was a rooster crowing. This is not a good thing."

As he said this, he put on his clothes and kept looking at the door in the distance: "Pack up your things, we'll go back immediately."

"Where are you going in the middle of the night?"

Not understanding why the master was so panicked and standing there without moving, Xiang Jiannan thought that the old master might have fallen into a daze from sleep. It was unrealistic for him to leave the city at this time. Even if he could get out, he didn't know how to proceed.

It took them several days to get to Shouxian County, and without any means of transportation, it was unknown how long it would take them to walk back to Ping'an Temple.

"Just follow me, Master. We cannot stay in this inn for even a moment."

He quickly tidied up his clothes, showing a panic that he had never seen before. As he quickly opened the door, Xiang Jiannan saw the fire beside him pause, as if a cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the door, and in an instant, all the open windows were closed. The temperature suddenly rose, and it seemed that something suddenly broke into the room with the sound of the wind.
